Pros:
"Live music added an unexpected magical atmosphere."

"Lovely decor and outside seating."
"Really cool bar/restaurant much needed in a part of the city centre going through a bit of regeneration."
"This gastro pub is so good we ate at The Duke's Umbrella two nights in a row."
Cons:
"Also, oddly, a number of the dishes on the veggie menu weren't listed on the full menu."
"One thing the salt grinder on our table was empty as were the ones on the tables beside us."
"Noticeably finished, before she came to take our plates."
"Subwoofer in the corner was absolutely knackered, kept cutting in and out."
"Service was patchy - due to layout it's hard to get staff attention on one side of the room."
"There’s a fad of new places opening in droves around glasgow, some of which are more sparkle than substance."
"The staff took orders and did things like got glasses for people either side of us so it's not like they didn't see."
"The inside is nice and unique and although not actually small, gives a very cosy and warm feeling."
Food Quality and Variety
Pros:
"The food was sublime. Beautifully cooked meat and the accompaniments were all outstanding."
"I had a pot pie with beef tips and haggis, served with a side of mashed potatoes and greens that was delicious."
"We all ordered the Rump of Beef Sunday Roast. The combination of Yorkshire pudding, duck fat potatoes, charcoal blackened carrot, sauteed greens and red wine gravy were delicious."
"The pork vindaloo croquette was an absolute treat and a great alternative to a full starter."
"The food is tremendous, generous portions focused on Scottish produce with a good mix of seafood, meat and veggie dishes."
"The braised beef and burger are phenomenal."
"The butter crab, haggis and Sunday roast were incredible."
"Food is outstanding! Fresh Oysters were a real treat and there is something on the menu to suit absolutely everyone."
Cons:
"The potatoes weren't crispy but they were seriously warm, which I really enjoyed."
"The charcoal blackened carrot wasn't to my taste, but hubby and Mum enjoyed."
"The cocktails that we had were also really refreshing and not over powering."
"The charcoal blackened carrot wasn't to my taste, but hubby and Mum enjoyed."
"Weirdly the venison pie was 'mega pint' overloaded with seasoning and spicy."
"Fish and chips were over cooked and Sausage & Mash was average."
"Our starters were prawns and bone marrow that although were presented beautifully didn’t really taste amazing."
"Tragic service, all the staff were incredibly rude to us all."
Service and Staff

"The service was friendly and guick."
"Craig provided such an amazing level or service."
"Cocktails were excellent! Recommendations from servers and service was on point."
Cons:
"Service was very hit and miss. Greeted promptly and shown our table."
"The food came in good time however once we finished the main course the plates sat in front of us for a good 20 minutes."
"We were keen to try this spot for one of our last nights in Scotland as they had a nice looking veg menu."
"My meal was awful, Yorkshire puddings dry and the veggie 'sausages' could have easily been bought from Morrisons freezer section."
"After being ignored at the bar for ten solid minutes whilst a barman made cocktails."
"Our starters were prawns and bone marrow that although were presented beautifully didn’t really taste amazing."
"The food was amazing, service lacking."
"Reduced my scoring as there was a weird burnt plastic smell throughout the venue from around 8.30pm that was a bit off putting."
